Ban checkout and use "modern" commands switch/restore #1095

Has there been any work to replace checkout with the more "direct" commands switch and checkout? I hesitate to give this learning material to new git users at work because it seems to use checkout.

git switch is certainly supported in local sandbox, but I haven't moved the learning materials over yet :/ I feel like theres still mixed consensus on which command to use in industry, and I think git switch is still labeled as an experimental command?

I could add a lesson on switch, but if I don't switch over all of the commands in all the lessons, people might walk away preferring checkout

Oh right! On git 2.42.0 man git switch says "THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE."

So it might be good to wait with the porting for that reason. I just forgot about it since I stopped using checkout completely since over a year ago.

Anyway, thanks for a really nice interactive learning tool! :)

Yep, it's easy to forget it's experimental. It's like when Google had their products in Beta for years!

I'll probably switch the lessons when they move it out of experimental.
